Lighting Controls

Lighting Control & Modular Wiring Systems

Lighting Controls designs and supplies complete lighting control
solutions including lighting control systems, modular wiring products and
custom panels. We invest heavily in R&D enabling and offer a complete
solution to lighting design, custom or off-the-shelf control packages and
modular wiring.

Our new PC-based head-end controller monitors lighting control systems
via a network and enables real time changes to be made. The system is
designed to easily effect temporary (or permanent) changes to lighting
or other devices connected to the network via any PC, tablet or smart
phone, even from within the area being changed.

The latest range of lighting control products features Bluetooth
commissioning capability, enabling easy and flexible configuring of
lighting and other devices on the network without the potential hazard of
cables hanging from the ceiling. In addition, all products are fully DALI
compliant and we offer both CAN and DALI controlled PIRs, switching
relays and scene set control plates which work with the full range of LCM
and Sub Address DALI modules.

Our new remote controls enable custom or off-the-shelf control of lights
and other devices within a zone remotely. The remote controls the zone
via a PIR and does not influence other devices in adjacent zones.

All our lighting control modules, both modular and hardwired, come with
Memory Chip technology whereby all system parameters and program
information is stored on a removable memory chip within each Lighting
Control Module. This chip can be reinstalled into another LCM should a
device need to be changed, avoiding costly recommissioning costs.

System Products

Lighting Control Modules
These fully addressable 10-way controllers are supplied in several formats:

Master and Slave versions in both DALI and auto detecting for switching,
0-10v, 1-10v dsi and DALI from a single unit.

wired from an electrical riser cupboard, thus enabling a marshalling
approach to connectivity.

TCP/IP Network Controllers (Area Controller) allow full integration and
compatibility with network cabling throughout the modern installation.

PIR Sensors
Both CAN and DALI PIRs feature multi-function and “sleep mode”
technology eliminating the common problem of false triggering. All
sensors are equipped with day light linking and have a light tube for
daylight control. These PIRs are compact, aesthetically pleasing and fit
in a 42mm cut-out.

stainless steel as well as a variety of specialist finishes to match other
accessories.

Head End PC software and emergency monitoring with graphical interface
affords the end user full functionality for monitoring the lighting system
with reports and logs for usage and faults. It also enables remote fault
diagnosis, reducing callout costs and reducing maintenance time.

Our Modular Wiring products include MDBs, Home Runs, Power and
Lighting Extenders, Lighting Tees and Switch Fused Spur Units, as an
integrated complement to our lighting control systems.

Our dedicated internal and in-the-field engineering team provides
customer support for design, commissioning and ongoing maintenance
of lighting control systems. Phone support, maintenance contracts and a
nationwide field service team are on hand to support all of our products.

Rapid Installation Systems - 57

Unitrunk

The philosophy of the RIS (Rapid Installation Systems)
design process is to bring to the market cable management
ranges that are quick to install, use fewer components than
their conventional counterparts and offer environmental
benefits too (via reduced packaging and shipping when
being delivered from stock to the work-face).

In a market place where efficiency of time is imperative, cable
management systems which are quick and easy to fit can provide a real
commercial advantage to the installer.

UniKlip®

The UniKlip® system for cable tray offers light, medium and heavy duty
profiles in pre-galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10346:2009.

Available in widths from 50mm up to and including 600mm the system
conforms to BS EN 61537:2007 meeting all performance and earth
continuity requirements.

UniKlip® is a unique system that negates the need for time consuming
nuts and bolts enabling it to be installed 3 times faster than traditional
cable tray systems.

To ensure that the full benefits of the system are available to installers,
Unitrunk now supplies tray couplers with the “Klips” attached and with a
full range of accessories and unique product features such as the
adjustable tray extensions, site cutting can be eliminated completely.

Uniklip® therefore provides the ultimate cable tray solution.

Accountability and confidence are important to Unitrunk which is why, to
support the claims of the speed at which Uniklip® can be installed, an
Installation Cost Calculator has been developed

Installation Cost Calculator

Unitrunk are committed to the installer deriving the greatest benefit from
using UniKlip® and has tested and evaluated that UniKlip® is 3 times
faster to install than traditional cable tray systems. By applying this 3x
factor to the rates published in the Luckins Electrical Installation Times,
we can fully substantiate this statement.

In the calculator, the installer inserts the quantities of cable tray from a
project and can see at a glance the time saving that using UniKlip® offers.
Inserting an hourly rate for the labour into the calculator provides this
saving as monetary value.

EasyConnect Basket

Adding further innovation to the RIS range is EasyConnect Basket. The
unique patented design allows more cable basket to be installed with
confidence in a shorter period of time.

There is no requirement for additional components or special tools to join
lengths of basket together and its innovative design reduces the number
of components necessary yet still meets all the earth continuity
requirements of BS EN 61537:2007.

With a full range of accessories and brackets for high level, underfloor
or wall mounting, EasyConnect provides a quality solution to meet your
cable basket needs.

A further benefit of the EasyConnect system comes with the 50mm wide
product which is manufactured with two wires on the base to allow for
fixing directly to channel support systems.

EasyConnect is manufactured in 3000mm lengths, which makes it ideal
for use on building service modules as it eliminates the problem of “creep”
which is common to other basket systems.

Available as standard in 30mm, 60mm and 100mm depths and widths
from 50mm to 600mm (other sizes are available on request).

Finishes available are:

• Electro-zinc ISO 4520:1981

• Hot Dipped Galvanised ISO 1461

• Stainless Steel 3041 & 3161 (Marine Grade)
Powder coating and epoxy coating are also available on request.

RIS products, supported by training and cost estimating tools, provide a
formidable and unique cable management solution from Unitrunk.

58 - Fire Performance & Power Cables 1 Fifty Cheapside, London (Photo courtesy of Virtual Artworks)

Pyrotenax

Pyrotenax (Pyro) Wire & Cable Systems provide an unparalleled standard
in performance cables for fire survival, communications and power
applications – Fact!

The product portfolio comprises the Pyro MI (Mineral Insulated) cables
for critical building systems including fire alarms, emergency lighting and
other vital power applications.

Pyro MI cable systems achieve the highest standards in fire safety and
exceed the requirements of “Approved Document B” of the Building
Regulations (Effective April 2007).

Fire Survival in Fire Alarm Applications
(BS 5839)

Pyro MI cables are the only true fire survival option. During a fire, even
BS 5839 approved polymeric alternatives burn, significantly reducing their
structural integrity, mechanical strength, and resistance to mechanical
impact from falling debris. Pyro MI cables do not, making them the safest
choice in every application, regardless of approvals.

Pyro MI cables hold BS 5839-1 approval from the LPCB and are listed
on www.redbooklive.com

Remember – not all manufacturers have this quality listing.

Critical Power Applications
(BS 7346-6:2005, replacing BS 6387)

Pyro MI cables continue to provide the ideal solution for supplying power
to critical systems.

Consider BS 7346-6:2005 Components for Smoke and Heat Control
Systems – Specifications for Cable Systems; MI is the only cost effective,
performance cable for life safety, fire-fighting and property protection
systems.

Significantly, many polymeric power cables (previously compliant with BS
6387) do not reach the minimum performance requirements of BS 7346.

Those that do are large, heavy, cumbersome, and expensive to install.
Smaller, lightweight MI cables are the only solution and do not react to,
or contribute to, a fire (important in the impending Euro classification of
cables within the Construction Products Directive (CPD).

With the introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, Pyro
MI cables offer a reduced risk option when compared with all electrical
“standard” compliant alternatives.

Pyro MI = Peace of MInd.

Other benefits of Pyro MI:

• Bare cables are 100% recyclable (copper is completely re-usable)
• Product is non-ageing, offering the longest life expectancy
• High temperature resistance, without reducing life expectancy
• Useful in mitigating “harmonic” loads from a buildings electrical products
• High current carrying capacity

A Class III surge arrestor that is a flexible solution to protecting individual
pieces of equipment. Perfectly suited to protecting ring mains and
individual sockets, switch fuse spurs, lighting, fire alarm panels, CCTV
cameras, etc. Its small size means that it can be mounted in confined
spaces and the audible alarm will indicate if the arrestor needs to be
replaced. The T3SP1/1.5/3.0/230S will offer 10m of protection either side
of the device it is installed on.

SPLB1/13 Type IlI Class IlI

The ‘Spur Protector’ SPLB1/13 provides an economic means of
preventing damage to sensitive electronic equipment on individual ring
mains from the dangers of transients, which can occur as the result of a
nearby lightning strike or surges derived from the switching of inductive
or capacitive loads.

(LEMP) protection system for electrical / electronic systems within a structure.

To assist with customer concerns, we offer a design and advisory service
for lightning protection to IEC/BS EN 62305.

Structural Lightning Protection

It is vital that buildings are designed and equipped with a lightning
protection system that will ensure the safety of the structure, and its
occupants. Given the importance of bonding and proper connection of
the components of the Lightning Protection System (LPS), just one faulty
or poor quality component can lead to costly damage, even fatalities.

Furse lightning protection products are designed and manufactured to
the highest standards. Primary in our range are our conductors – in flat
tape, solid circular and stranded format, copper and aluminium, many of
which can be PVC coated for greater aesthetic appeal.

Furse also offer a large range of air terminals, fittings, bonds, clamps and
lightning current / equipotential bonding Surge Protection Devices (SPDs).
In accordance with BS EN 62305, these SPDs are required where direct
connection with bonding conductors is not suitable – for example metallic
power and telecommunication lines.

Effective Earthing

The dangers posed to both life and equipment by poor earthing make
effective earthing essential. Given the complexity of national and
international standards in earthing system design, material specification
and installation, it makes sense to talk to Furse.

Generator Noise Control

The table (below) and the graph (opposite) illustrate typical sound
pressure levels in various familiar locations (plots 1-5). Also shown on
the graph are two darker plots (6 and 7), these lines are indicating the
sound pressure levels of a 250kVA diesel generator before and after
silencing at Advanced.

Comparing the unsilenced values with the silenced generator values it is
clear that the higher to mid-range frequencies have been attenuated
effectively. This drop in sound pressure level is made more clear by
comparing the silenced generator plot line to the ‘familiar location’ plot lines.

Above 200Hz the silenced generator levels are below those of a typical
loud stereo player, moderate ocean waves and even a typical library.

The peak sound level of the open generator (plot 6) is around 103dB at
125Hz, this obvious peak is indicative of the engine firing and is typical
of all combustion engines. Frequencies below 200Hz are more difficult
to attenuate, but it is still clear that the sub 200Hz frequencies of the
silenced generator are much lower than those of the open generator.

70 - Roto-Active Breaking (Using Compact NSX)

Introduction

In order to enhance limitation and discrimination performance, Compact NSX 100 to 630A MCCB
has been developed using “revolutionary” breaking technique: “roto-active” breaking. Compact
NSX provides an exceptional limiting capacity even on high short-circuits in order to drastically
reduce stresses on intermediate distribution.

Roto-active breaking: repulsion of contacts Roto-active breaking: tripping
by pressure

This high current limiting technique uses a new tripping energy, pressure, resulting from arc energy. Its operation is described below:
• Each circuit-breaker pole is housed within a “Breaking Unit” in which a rotating contact generates, by electromagnetic repulsion, two serial arcs on

occurrence of the short-circuit current
• A piston & spring device uses the pressure from arc energy to cause – beyond a certain threshold (roughly 25 ln) – reflex tripping, roughly 3ms after

contact repulsion
• Up to this threshold pressure is not sufficient to cause tripping & arc impedance limits the short-circuit current
• Beyond this threshold breaking is very quick (1ms) & limits still further the short-circuit current

The “Breaking Units” are sized to match circuit-breaker size. Consequently, limitation is greatest when rating is smallest. This technique provides Compact
NSX with an outstanding limiting capacity and thus with increased discrimination possibilities. This technique is also very useful for limiting stresses on
electrical power distribution.

Customer Benefits

Thanks to the use of breaking gas pressure speeding up tripping and implementation of energy discrimination, the Compact NSX circuit breaker ensures:
• Natural discrimination as standard, that is to say require no special trip units

Thanks to rotary breaking, the Compact NSX circuit breakers are ultra-quick and limiting. Cascading performance is thus excellent:
• With roto-active COMPACT NSX MCCB ensures Total Discrimination up to full breaking capacity of the device
• Continuity of the supply is optimum
• High breaking capacity: 150kA / 2ms
• Reflex tripping ensures that stresses on system are reduced to the minimal

Power Factor Correction - 71

General Harmonic Distortion

Under normal operating conditions certain electrical loads draw not only In recent years, the developments in semiconductor technology have led
active power from the supply (kilowatts kW), but also reactive power to constant increases in the proportion of harmonic generating loads
(reactive kVA, kVAr). This reactive power has no useful function, but is connected to the mains. These converters have adverse effects on the

ensures that only a small amount of reactive power is drawn from the supply.
Typical distorted mains are matched by the GreenLine range of cubicles,
Purpose whilst the BlueLine range is suitable for operation on the most heavily
distorted of networks.
An apparent reduction in the total current drawn from the supply can be
achieved as a result of connecting a capacitor to an inductive load. Where harmonic levels are especially severe, an Active Harmonic Filter
is usually required. In this case, on-site measurements and detailed
Definition calculation are required: please contact us for details.

The Power Factor of a load is defined as being the ratio of active power Maintenance & Service
to total demand, that is to say kW + kVA. The uncorrected power factor of

72 - Green T.HE High Efficiency Transformers

Eco Design

Green T.HE high efficiency transformers meet the latest European Commission's Ecodesign Directive, which outlines the parameters transformers must
adhere to in order to meet efficiency requirements, defined by the maximum load and no-load losses a transformer can record.

Classification

The classification of a cast resin transformer depends on the value of the no-load losses (Po), as well as the load losses (Pk), characteristics of the machine.
More precisely, Po losses are independent from the load and remain constant for the whole period the transformer is connected to the electric power
network. On the other hand, Pk losses only occur when the transformer is connected to a load and are proportional to the square of the load itself.

Certifications & Acceptance Tests

Prior to Legrand cast resin transformers being supplied to the customer, they are individually inspected and must pass the
acceptance and, when necessary, type tests, if they are required at the time of order.

At the end of the acceptance tests a specific inspection certificate is delivered with each transformer.

Acceptance tests IEC 60076-1

UPS - HITEC DRUPS Design Guide - 73

System Description

HITEC Power Protection’s “Dynamic Rotary UPS” is synonymous with quality and reliability. It filters the incoming utility power and protects against power
interruptions in a simple and effective manner. The unique concept and design of the HITEC Power Protection DRUPS maximises reliability and provides
the customer with the highest possible availability. Depending on the size of the fuel reserve, the DRUPS can provide power for an indefinite period of time.

Kinetic Energy = No Batteries

The INDUCTION COUPLING or ETM and FLYWHEEL is the heart of HITEC Power Protection’s “Dynamic Rotary UPS” system. When utility fails, the
DRUPS retrieves power from the stored kinetic energy and this provides power for the connected load while the diesel engine starts and accelerates up
to full speed.

Alternator & Choke = Active Filter

The careful matching of the alternator and the choke provides a system that acts as a continuous filter which allows the DRUPS to maintain the output
voltage within the strictest tolerances. When mains power is available, the ALTERNATOR supplies reactive power to the load so that the utility sees a
near unity power factor.

HITEC Power Protection DRUPS Product Range

The Model “UPS” ranges from 500 KVA to 2200 KVA and the Model “QPS” ranges from 2500 KVA to 3000 KVA at 50Hz.

No-Break KS® Mechanical / Electrical Features - 75

How is Kinetic Energy Stored?

The kinetic energy accumulator consists of two rotating parts; the outer rotor (or accu-rotor) runs mechanically free around the inner rotor.
The inner rotor, driven by the central shaft, rotates at 1500 rpm (50Hz) or 1800 rpm (60Hz). It is provided with two sets of windings: a three phase AC
winding and a DC winding.
In normal mode, the AC winding is energised to generate a rotating magnetic field that accelerates the outer rotor to approximately 3000 rpm. Nevertheless,
the net relative speed between the inner and outer ring of the bearings is only 1500 rpm since the shaft itself is rotating a 1500 rpm.
The outer rotor (accu-rotor) stores kinetic energy more effectively than a design with an inner rotor, since the amount of kinetic energy increases
quadratically with the distance from the centre of rotation.
In emergency mode, the DC winding is energised and the outer rotor is coupled to the inner rotor by induction. Its kinetic energy is transferred to the
inner rotor with the result of driving the inner rotor and connected generator rotor. The energy transfer is regulated by accurately controlling the current
injected into the DC winding. The stato-alternator is a totally brushless machine.

78 - UPS Application Design Guidance

Introducing the Piller IP-System™ Coupled with energy storage and the ability to configure a massive UPS

UPS (Critical Bus) power and Essential Bus like a standby generator –
this form is known as Dual Output Bus.

Depending upon the particular design requirements, it is sometimes
necessary or desirable to electrically isolate the short break loads from
the Critical Bus – this is known as Dual Output isolated bus. In this
configuration, the generator winding provides the Critical Bus source and
the motor winding of the UNIBLOCK™ machine becomes a generator
for the Essential Bus.

The two circuits are isolated by virtue of the transformer action between
the windings and so the two outputs are electrically isolated. In other
circumstances, it can be preferential to use the same alternator for both
supplies particularly in MV solutions. This flexibility is uniquely available
with the UNIBLOCK™ UBTD+ system.

The input stabilising filter system also includes the coupling choke; this connects the input grid supply with the UPS high quality output supply. It allows
large voltage differences between both AC systems by means of reactive currents for any direction, independent of the active power flow. The special
design of the choke provides a high degree of decoupling in both directions between the input and output.

The input current consists only of the sinusoidal fundamental waveform required for power transfer. Likewise, harmonics and transients in the input voltage
have no effect on the quality of the output voltage. This independence is achieved through the calculated combination of the coupling choke high impedance
characteristics to harmonic currents and the special design synchronous machine windings and selective damper cage representing a short circuit to
these harmonics, preventing reflection to the mains supply.

Hence the coupling choke provides: I Real I Load (apparent)

• Static & Transient voltage decoupling of the input mains & the UPS Bus Vin +/- 10% I Reactive
• Harmonic filtering I Harmonic
• Input load levelling irrespective of 100% unbalanced output load 3rd, 5th...
• Input power factor correction >0.98 from 0-100% load at nominal

voltage

In the event of input short circuit the current flow towards the grid network
is limited by the choke at <200% I nominal until the input is disconnected.
During this transient situation the coupling choke maintains the UPS bus
voltage, ensuring all kinetic stored energy can be fully utilised for
supporting the critical load.

Project Brief: Remove and relocate existing generator radiators to create
space for the new equipment. Design, supply and install 2 No. 2.5 MVA
diesel generators in bespoke acoustic enclosures, together with all
associated control systems and auxiliary equipment.

Project Description: The client appointed E-TEC to carry out the generator
upgrade works at their prestigious London data centre. E-TEC was chosen
for our specialist experience in the provision and execution of particularly
difficult projects such as this. In short, an external location on the ninth floor
was chosen for the new equipment which was already occupied with two
large cooling radiators serving the existing sets. Since the proposed location
for the new equipment was away from the central core of the building, the
weight limitation of loading allowed per square metre was dramatically less
than the proposed load to be installed. The solution was a radical design
change which saw the cooling radiators sited remotely from the engine and
suspended on steelwork from the floor above. The engine exhaust silencers
were acoustically housed and suspended in the same way. To raise the
equipment to high level prior to locating and building the generators and
associated acoustic housings in situ, extensive steel work adaptations,
temporary removals and extended crane operations were required.

Design Criteria & Scope of Supply:

• Design, supply & install 2 No. 2.5 MVA diesel generators together with
all associated control systems & auxiliary equipment

• Bespoke acoustic enclosures designed to achieve a maximum noise level
of 65 dB(A) @ 1m

• Generators were unable to be installed in conventional form due to a major
weight restriction

• Project management, crane lifting, logistics & sequencing was required
to locate the new equipment to the ninth floor

• Integration of the new E-TEC control & monitoring system with existing
live equipment & controls

Naturally Ventilated LV Switchgear / Case Study - 83

Prism Power Group’s engineers have decades of combined experience Our focus on innovation, efficiency and environmentally friendly systems
designing and building LV Switchgear systems. We deliver the ultimate has led to the development of improved technologies for power provision,
in efficient and reliable solutions to fit requirements however large or small, with the benefits of reduced total cost of ownership and enhanced quality
standardised or unique. for our customers.

Naturally Ventilated LV Switchgear

Prism Power has undertaken an extensive engineering program and
became the first in the world to manufacture and achieve full independent
certification for a naturally ventilated 6300A 100kA LV Switchboard.

The program took a considerable amount of investment into the research,
development and testing of a new panel design that eliminated the need for
forced ventilation fans.

During rigorous testing in Berlin and Grenoble, the panel design was
proven to be capable of withstanding extreme temperature rise testing and
short circuit testing.

Prism Power’s self-ventilated switchboard system has been a major
technological advance in the switchgear manufacturing industry. It allows
switchgear systems of up to 6300A to be built and installed with great
efficiency and environmental savings.

The groundbreaking naturally ventilated technology is a vast improvement
on traditional systems that improves energy efficiency, reduces points of
failure and also cuts on-going maintenance costs.

The overall result of the avoidance of forced ventilation fans is lower
CapEx, lower OpEx, higher reliability, higher availability and a low-energy
‘green’ solution.

Case Study: Major Financial Data Centre Key benefits to the client from Prism Power’s naturally
ventilated LV switchboards
Prism Power Group’s technical expertise and flexible approach allows us
to provide a wide variety of solutions to meet the diverse needs of a global • Fewer components leading to greater reliability
client base. • Fans eliminated, resulting in reduced OpEx costs:

We undertake several projects each year for a major financial organisation. ▪ No fan running costs (power)
▪ No fan maintenance
Our largest instruction from the client to date was a complete LV switchgear ▪ No fan replacement cycle
package for a Tier 4 data centre build, including 6300A main switchboards, • Reduced capital expenditure:
submain switchboards and final distribution equipment. ▪ No initial fan costs
▪ No need for air-flow switches with associated alarm circuits
We were commissioned for the design and build of the mechanical and
electrical infrastructure for the first phase of this modular build data centre,
and the project was delivered on time and within budget.

Our engineers worked closely with the client from project conception,
design and project management, through to handover of the finished
system, providing a one-stop-shop.

By being involved in the design and delivery of the whole system, our
engineers were able to provide maximum peace of mind to the client by
ensuring that all technical considerations were reviewed and fully
coordinated.

The reliability and safety benefits derived from Prism Power’s low-energy
naturally ventilated switchboards, as well as the extensive cost savings and
efficiency enhancement associated with having no forced ventilation fans,
produced an exceptional switchgear product for the client that is totally
fit-for-purpose in this most critical of applications.

Static UPS - An Overview & Application Design Guidance - 85

Static UPS systems provide continuous AC power protection by powering the system load via the inverter. This ensures that the voltage and frequency
supplied to the system load remain within close tolerances. In the event of a mains failure, the inverter continues to support the system load drawing its
DC power from the system battery, many types of which are now available. Many developments have recently occurred by using IGBT semi-conductor
technology, providing improved efficiency, self-monitoring, touch screens and modular construction.

By using IGBT rectifiers Emerson Network Power static UPS systems draw power at near unity power factor. This minimises the input current required
for any given load power and enables more real power to be drawn from an AC supply of a given current rating.
UPS systems are rarely operated at or near to full load, therefore the fact that the efficiency of Emerson Network Power static UPS systems is maintained
at almost the same high level from 100% load down to as low as 15% of system load becomes very significant to the overall running costs. UPS modules
can be easily paralleled for increased power or for N+1 redundancy.

By using the modular approach, that the ‘+1’ is a relatively small capacity enabling a high ratio of load to UPS capacity to be achieved. Modules can be
incorporated with internal static switches and isolators to form 10kW to 3MW+ systems, with “hot” swappable systems and being able to service units
without going to bypass.

Emerson Network Power UPS systems with IGBT inverters can support any leading or lagging load power factor and all non-linear computer loads.

Cummins Data Centre Continuous (DCC) Rating

Cummins Power Generation has developed a diesel generator power output ratings category for data centre applications to ensure total reliability and
dependability for data centre operators. Data Centre Continuous (DCC) is defined as the maximum power which the generator is capable of delivering
continuously to a constant or varying electrical load for unlimited hours in a data centre application. The ratings greatly simplify the engineering design
process and make it easier for customers to achieve site certification from the Uptime Institute.

90 - Diesel Generator Size Selection

Ratings as per ISO8528 Part 1:

Prime Power
Variable load. Unlimited hours usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Prime Power over each 24 hour period. A 10% overload is
available for 1 hour in every 12 hours.

Standby Power
Limited to 500 hours annual usage with an average load factor of 80% of the published Standby Power rating over each 24 hour period. Up to 300
hours of annual usage may be run continuously. No overload is permitted on Standby Power.

Generator Selection should be based on the specific application, required rating and operational conditions. Project specific generator sizing and
selections can be offered using the FG Wilson GenSelect software tool.

GenSelect provides a library of common load types, which can be arranged into a sequence of load steps to simulate a client’s load scenario. GenSelect
calculates the requirements of the load and compares the requirements against the performance of each generating set, at the specified site conditions.

Havells Metering & Surge Protection - 91

Metering Requirements

Part L2 of the building regulations has fundamentally changed how electrical systems for buildings
are designed and installed.
• At least 90% of energy consumption in buildings larger than 500m² must be accounted for

• An energy performance certificate demonstrating compliance is required for every building

• Automatic meter reading (AMR) in all new buildings over 1000m² must be incorporated

• Additional metering would be required for plant items with input powers greater than or equal
to those shown below

Plant Item Rated Input Metered 125A Type B Distribution Board
Power (kW) Tri-Load Meter
Boiler installations comprising one or more boilers or CHP plant feeding a MID Approved Meter Unit
common distribution circuit 50 Surge Protection Device for Type B Distribution Board

Chiller installations comprising one or more chiller units feeding a common 20
distribution circuit

Electric humidifiers 10

Motor control centres providing power to fans and pumps 10

Final electrical distribution boards 50

Havells offers a comprehensive solution to metering and measuring energy consumption in
buildings. The key for Havells is our understanding of regulations, future requirements for metering
and what it means to the installer.
The range of metering solutions includes both integrated and retro fit with features such as ease
of install, pre-configuration (reducing risk of errors) and MID options, making the installers life
easy when considering metering.

What is MID?

The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) was introduced by the European Commission to
promote free trade of measuring instruments throughout Europe.
Any meter used for billing of electricity, must be either MID approved or approved under UK
national legislation. Meters already installed, that were approved under UK national legislation
prior to October 2006 may remain installed indefinitely, as long as they are measuring accurately.
Any new meter manufactured and approved after October 2006 must be approved under the MID
regulations.
In the UK, the MID is applicable for loads up to 100kW. After October 2016 every new meter
installed for billing must be MID approved. It is a criminal offence to use a non-approved meter
for billing.

Surge Protection: Havells & Furse

Furse is a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of earthing and lightning protection
systems.
A Havells/Furse strategic alliance offers fully type tested solutions of complete assemblies,
including Type A/B distribution boards and MCCB panel boards.
This concept is unique to the current selection of surge protection devices within an electrical
system as a proven level of energy let through voltage can be confirmed for a complete assembly
and not simply sub components.

The configuration of surge protection devices within each assembly has been standardised to
reduce installation variables to ensure that a surge protection device operates at optimum
performance maintaining the integrity of the electrical system.

• Fully type tested solutions validated by Furse

• Standardised kits to reduce installation variables for optimum performance

• Compliance to BS EN62305 & IET Wiring Regulations BS 7671:2008 (+A1:2011)

Landlord Obligations

Landlords, estate managers and property developers should check that they have
legally acceptable meters fitted throughout their premises. The use of unapproved
meters for billing carries the risk of prosecution. A tenant is within his rights to refuse
payment if his electricity bill is based on readings from a non-approved meter. In
SHM's experience we have found that around 90% of meters presently fitted in
commercial buildings are not approved for billing. SHM will be pleased to undertake
a survey of all installed meters within a building or estate to determine whether or
not the meters comply with current legislation.
